Torrence v. Scdoc

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that the Administrative Law Court’s order was a final decision, despite containing a remand, because the ALC resolved the dispositive issues and the remand was ministerial; therefore the appeal was not interlocutory and the case was remanded to the Court of Appeals for merits. The Court also reiterated that parties may allow a ministerial remand to conclude without forfeiting the right to appeal.
